Gu Tingyan was a little amused after hearing what Gu Xueyuan said. He also understood what his son meant, which was to come to the compound less often in the future. However, he knew that it was difficult to get rid of his parents. He just had to follow the principles in the future. As for his elder brother wanting to get promoted, he was powerless. After all, he still needed to obey the arrangements of the organization, right?

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. How many days of vacation do you have this time?"

Gu Xueyuan shook his head. "How can I have a few days off? My vacation time is never fixed. For example, if I'm given three days off today, it's possible that I won't have any tomorrow."

Gu Tingyan also understood what his son meant. This was always the case in their department, so he didn't say much.

After a few days of hard work, Sun Yuqi finally finished cleaning up her house. Looking at the neat and clean courtyard, she felt very happy. Now she finally had a home in Beijing.

The only thing is that this place is some distance away from Kyoto University. It takes half an hour to walk there. It would be nice if I could get the bicycle back from Northeast China. If I really get admitted to Kyoto University, it would be much more convenient to go to school.

But on second thought, it is unrealistic to bring back the bicycle from the Northeast. It would be better to buy another bicycle here. However, I don’t have a ticket now. It seems that I have to ask Lin Muran and Lu Yao, hoping that they can get me a bicycle ticket.

She shook her head and put these things aside for the time being, walked into the room, took out the books Zhao Kang had given her and started studying again. It was already the end of June and July was about to begin. There were only five months left to study. She remembered that the book said that the college entrance examination would start in December.

Time passed quickly, and it was July in a blink of an eye. During this period, Sun Yuqi rarely went out. She would go out every two days to buy some vegetables from small vendors.

Sun Yuqi had no shortage of meat. After all, she had been in Zhengjiatun for two years and had eaten a lot of meat on the mountain. In the past two years, Sister Cheng had bought some pheasants and rabbits from her. As for wild boars, sika deer, and roe deer, they were all stored in the space. It was not easy for her to eat them every day in Zhengjiatun. She could only eat them occasionally. There was nothing she could do about it. Everyone lived very close to her. If she cooked something delicious, everyone would definitely be able to smell it. In order not to attract too much attention, Sun Yuqi did not eat meat very often, so most of the meat was kept.

Now that I live here, the house is big and the yard is big enough, so I don’t have to worry about my neighbors being able to smell the meat. Besides, the situation has improved a lot now. Small vendors have started to appear on the streets. Although they are still a bit sneaky, the management is no longer so strict.

At noon, the weather was hot and Sun Yuqi didn't want to cook. Remembering that she hadn't eaten instant noodles for a long time, she took out two bags of instant noodles from the space and cooked them. She then cut some cucumber into shreds and poured the seasoning she had chosen on it. It became a bowl of cold noodles, which was quite delicious.

Sun Yuqi always eats instant noodles by herself because she finds it difficult to explain where they come from.

Lu Yao said that she wanted to move in to live and study with Sun Yuqi, but half a month has passed and there has been no news. I guess the Lu family doesn't allow it. Sun Yuqi is happy and comfortable without Lu Yao coming.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yao didn't show up, but Lin Muran and Chen Hao showed up instead. Sun Yuqi was pleasantly surprised when she opened the door and saw Lin Muran and Chen Hao standing outside. She hadn't seen them for a long time.

"I was wondering what you guys have been busy with lately? You didn't even come to see me. I wanted to see you, but I couldn't get into the compound."

Lin Muren smiled embarrassedly.

"I'm sorry, we've been quite busy lately, so we only found time to come out today."

Sun Yuqi waved her hand and welcomed the two in.

"I'm just saying, please sit down first, I'll bring you some sour plum soup."

Looking at Sun Yuqi's new house, Lin Muren was very happy that his good friend had her own home.

"Chen Hao, look, Yuqi's house is quite nice. It has its own door and yard, and it's very quiet. I think the neighbors around here are also well-mannered."

Chen Hao didn't think too much about it. After listening to Lin Muran's words, he nodded in agreement.

"It's really good, but it's a bit far from Kyoto University. It takes half an hour to walk there."

After hearing what Chen Hao said, Lin Muren thought, isn’t it?

"Chen Hao, can you get me a bicycle ticket? Where's the money? Yuqi should have it. I guess it's really hard to get a ticket."

After hearing what Lin Muran said, Chen Hao said, "Leave this matter to me!"

Sun Yuqi, who came out of the kitchen with two bowls of sour plum soup, just heard the conversation between the two. She was delighted and walked in.

"Oh, thank you both so much! I was just wondering where to find a bicycle ticket a few days ago."

In the evening, after seeing off Lin Muran and the other person, Sun Yuqi also closed the door and rested.

After lunch the next day, Sun Yuqi got up from her nap. She didn't feel like reading so she thought about going out for a walk. She had been in Beijing for quite some time, but she hadn't really explored the city yet.

He locked the door and went out in one go. He walked out of the alley and came to the street. There were obviously more people on the street than in the previous few days, and the small vendors were bolder. Sun Yuqi had not intended to buy anything today, but just walked and looked around. He came to the vicinity of the park. Seeing so many tourists, Sun Yuqi couldn't understand why there were so many people coming to the park in such a hot season, so he bought a ticket and went in.

Following the path in the park, Sun Yuqi came to the lake. When she got here, she realized why there was a park even though it was so hot. Sitting under the trees by the lake, feeling the cool breeze, it was really a good place to escape the summer heat. However, Sun Yuqi arrived late and there was no good seat, so she had to walk slowly along the lake in the hope of finding a good spot.

After walking along the lake for about ten minutes, Sun Yuqi found that she had taken things for granted. She knew it was cool here, but as a native of Beijing, she might have known it earlier. It is said that this place used to belong to the imperial palace, and that was where the emperors used to come to escape the summer heat.

After walking around and failing to find a good place, Sun Yuqi reluctantly left the park and prepared to go home to continue reading and studying.

When turning into the alley where she lived, a young man suddenly rushed out from inside. The boy was about thirteen or fourteen years old, with long hair and tattered clothes. Because his face was dirty, it was impossible to tell what he looked like. Sun Yuqi didn't care. After avoiding the boy, she walked away.

What she didn't know was that there was a hint of hatred in the boy's eyes hidden by his hair.
